What the Fathers say

Job 15:26

Western Saints

Thomas Aquinas

He shows how Job has acted against God saying, "He ran against him with his head erect," proudly. For man resists God whom he ought to serve in humility most through pride. Sirach agrees with this, "The proud man begins by falling away from God." (10:14) Just as one who loves God is said to run in his ways because of his readiness in will to serve him, so the proud man is said to run against God because of his presumption of spirit.
